Bad COVID news. Number of deaths nationally has increased in a very significant way and number of new cases in IL increased to levels higher than the end of May. The reasons are obvious: 1. Complete failure of a national response. Only denial 2. Failure to enforce a mask mandate
Lets be clear. If someone decreased cancer diagnostic tests, cancer would not go away. The opposite, more people would die from cancer. For anyone to suggest decreasing COVID tests, COVID would not go away. The opposite, more people would die from COVID. Basic common sense.
AACI condemns #racism and #discrimination. We firmly
believe that these intertwined issues must be confronted with a sense of urgency — just as we address #cancer and other crises that impact public health. Please read our expanded, formal statement here: https://t.co/Slxe0RKZHF
Agree strongly with the message of our Emergency Medicine colleagues here at Northwestern. Racism has no place in any civilized society and must end. Enough.

Good news overall, but far from enough. Cancer disparities remain a huge problem, with an unacceptable 33% higher relative risk of death after cancer diagnosis in African American patients than white patients. We can and must do better than that!
